I Don'T Want To Read Your Blog Brian Strand

I Don't Want To Read Your Blog Brian Strand. I just want to write a poem. I'm done with instructions. I'm done with obedience. I'm done with the topsy. Just give me the turvy. Turvy, turvy, turvy all the time. I'm done with repetition. I'm done with repeating myself. Give me two minutes and I'll make you a paper airplane. Give me four minutes and I'll make your 2 paper airplane. Our mouth is the hangar for all ideation sounds. Then you have these vagabond words, Escaping without an open hole, Utilizing these stringy little fingers, Doing some sort of Fred Astaire number. Someone call the word plumber. This be clogged.

Matt I try and keep my contest simple, three page instructions is not for me, when we get to complicated with rules, we lose the creativity part, its nice to keep a balance, between structure and free thoughts. I also want to thank you for my placement, I am honored you liked it, :)

Hello, Matt, hope you are well. There is a contest called "Bee Creative" Sponsored by Matt Caliri. It has never been judged, or has it? Maybe I have missed it?

Thanks for all your praise, guys! Let it be on record I have nothing against Brian Strand. I'm sure he's a great guy. I just didn't want to read his blog, no biggie. And, yes, it was a bit of a jab against people who sort of over-require for their poetry entries. But no worry beef curry.

I was at a large meeting once where they were deciding whether or not to bar a frequently unsettling member. One person simply stated "The only issue I have is that if you succeed in banning him sooner or later you'll get around to mel"

Hey, folks, he is a classic narcissist, and he is getting his jollies out of his name being here ad nauseum and his self-designated "expertise" in poetry. That's okay with me, really, but enough is enough, as far as I'm concerned. And, what you say is an absolutely acceptable way of looking at it. Remember, only unsettling if you let him be!

Hi, John. Your comment has me thinking about Lord of the Flies. I don't like the thought of banning anyone, except trolls and bullies. The adage, 'too much of a good thing' doesn't fit the situation either. Egotism is not a good thing.

Need a snake to clear the toilet and an escape route for vagabond words. Sounds like a plan to clear up lots of things. I've been tired of it for months, blocked and that's fine with me. I stopped reading the topsy and the turvy long ago. I never did learn how to make a paper airplane. Good write and title. Hat off to ya!

I couldn't agree more, Matt. I'm also tired of reading his so-called "poetry." So, I don't. I'm happier for it.
